Research revolution: Unlocking the power of school data 

Which teaching practices have the greatest impact on pupil outcomes? By analysing data already held by trusts, NIoT’s ground-breaking project, the Teacher-Education Dataset (TED), aims to inform classroom practice, enhance teacher development, and shape evidence-based policy. During the session we will share our approach to building the TED, as well as early research findings. We will then explore how trust leaders might apply these insights in their contexts. Attendees will be invited to reflect on how their own trusts might engage with TED and contribute to sector-wide improvement. Join us to understand the infrastructure required to support this work and discover actionable insights to drive positive change across your trust.
